Wow! I'd like to know how he set up his suspension to allow him to hang in there with the Bavarian entries.

supposedly the car is using KW V3'S if you can believe that.... Looks like in the first race he hits limp mode while he's out in front and has to go to the pit. In the 2nd race he gets over zealous and spins out around a problem corner, still though, amazing how the car can not only compete with the maseratis and bmws but how its seriously holding it's own before the problems start...

tyre grip I reckon,its a heavy car even stripped,If you notice he gets to 1st place in one race from 13th on the grid in about 1/2 a lap and I reckon he knackers his tyres early cos its the back end he loses under braking(how come he was 13th on the grid,crap qualifying???)he certainly stretches everyone out on the straights,I'm impressed.
What Tranny was he using?stock auto???I heard the comentator saying "auto and incredble"in the same sentence on the race he spun off and finished 3rd

[UK CHRYSLER 300C]

why and what is the resevoir on the gas pedal for??

[SMosher]

Hrmm ... You know how you can tell thats not ViP300Cs lip on there? ... Its still on there. ;d

[Inferno07]

There may just be two brake fluid reservoirs for the front brakes. I can't imagine it's a hydraulic gas pedal.

One thing is for sure, that car is pure bad ass... And if people chose to race more American body cars, you would see a lot more Bavarian Mist Wagens at the back of the pack.
